The Philippine Film Industry Roadmap, developed in partnership with international consultancy Olsberg SPI, is a monumental step toward building a more structured, globally competitive, and culturally significant industry.

This follows the two organizations’ partnership agreement signed in November last year. The roadmap supports the FDCP’s main priorities of strengthening the country’s domestic film industry and expanding the potential to attract more international productions.

FDCP Chairperson and CEO Jose Javier “Direk Joey” Reyes kicked off the program at Seda Manila Bay.
